Richard E. Grant Says He Ended 30-Year Friendship After 'Toxic' Email Attack on His Script

The actor recounted the rupture on Paloma Faith's podcast, saying he was devastated by a brutal critique of his autobiographical work.

Overview

  • Grant said he was accidentally copied into an email to a mutual friend in which the former confidante tore into his autobiographical script.
  • He replied by returning the text with the line "Twenty-nine years of friendship?" and then cut off contact.
  • He said he has not seen the person since receiving the message.
  • Grant recalled his daughter Olivia asking whether he had always known this about the friend, which he took as clarity on ending the relationship.
  • In separate remarks, he has said he is not looking for a new partner following his wife Joan's 2021 death and still writes nightly emails to her as part of his grieving.
